Hydrodog Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Our training support includes access to our extensive e-learning platform featuring video
tutorials on practice methods, as well as comprehensive learning aids such as operational checklists, guides, and daily operational resources. Additionally, we offer regular interactive webinars featuring live sessions with our experienced staff covering advanced topics, complemented by personalized one-on-one coaching through scheduled calls and in-person meetings to ensure your success.
Before your HydroDog Business opens, we will provide our initial training program ("HydroDog Academy") to you upon payment of the Initial Training Fee (Franchise Agreement- Sections 7.1 and 7.2). The HydroDog Academy is designed to equip you with essential operational skills needed to run a successful HydroDog franchise through a comprehensive combination of online and on-site training, focusing on daily operations, grooming practices, and customer management.
The online portion of HydroDog Academy is delivered through our e-learning platform featuring self-paced modules, video tutorials, and interactive assessments. The on-site training may be conducted either at your location with our trainer traveling to you, or at our designated corporate training facility with you and your staff traveling to us. The on-site training includes hands-on instruction in equipment setup and maintenance, real-world practice in client management and service delivery, and direct support with implementing daily operations and HydroDog business protocols.
You and your trainees must successfully complete the HydroDog Academy, as determined in our sole discretion, prior to opening your Business (as described in Section 7.3 of the Franchise Agreement). This includes successfully passing all required assessments designed to evaluate comprehension of training topics. Upon successful completion of the training program and passing of all assessments, you and your trainees will receive a certificate of completion, which may be required for operational approval of your Business.
